1743 REALE and more

1743 REALE and more; up-dated pix

Wow, Rick and I couldn't have asked for better conditions, mostly sunny weather and cool temps and a fielded the was groomed to perfection. We have done this field several times befor but we just couldn't pass up on a freshly disced field.
I managed to get 7 coppers up, mostly all in bad condition but I will try to get them cleaned up tomorrow, lots of pewter pieces and buttons and one small tombac with a snowflake design on it, and of course a nice Spanish 1 reale.



Tombac cleaned up: Group shot with iron & scrap finds



The coppers 1 Penny and 5 Half Pennies are all but gone, can't make out a thing on them. One turned out to be a 1912 Canadian LC instead of a colonial copper like the rest. Also picked up a nice black glass bottle neck.

HH everyone,

COME ON......GET IN.

Nice finds, ZDD. Give Rick a hug for me next time you guys get out!

Did you find those with the Deus? How are you liking it?

That's a great day of hunting

The reale is pretty sweet. I bet those coppers will clean up quite nicely. Please let us see the end results! Thanks.

I will give him a big ole bear hug for ya Gio. I did use the Deus yeasterday, so far I only have about 20 hours on it and I am still learning how to ID the targets. It has great target separation and depth but I am still digging alot more iron and bottle caps then I would like but I have no doubt that the dig ratio will improve with more use.

I hope so too but most of them seem fairly toasted but I will post them up when cleaned, thanks for looking.
